Celebrity chef Paula Deen, who announced she has type 2 diabetes, has often been criticized for her calorie-laden, over-the-top concoctions. Here are nine of the most excessive delights ever cooked up in Deen's kitchen.

Fried Butter Balls

Like to fry things in butter, but at a loss for what to cook up? Paula Deen has the answer: simply deep fry… more butter. That’s right, in this recipe Deen encourages us not to eat foods fried in butter, but instead has us fry butter itself. First, of course, we must mix it with cream cheese. Then we use a small ice cream scoop to form it into balls. But don’t worry: there’s no actual ice cream involved. That would make it unhealthy.
